- 4 pairs of chopsticks + 4 matching chopstick rests
- Black gift box with a lid, ready to give as it is
- Lacquered handles and Japanese patterns: sakura, plum blossom, fan, rice grains
- Carved or lacquered rests, different in each set
- Several designs to choose from, from the understated to the colourful
- Table chopsticks in the Japanese format
● Choose your design
Each set pairs a chopstick design with rests of a different shape. That is the detail that lands when the box is opened: not four lone pairs in a box, but a small, complete table set.
| Set | Chopsticks | Chopstick rests |
|---|---|---|
| Oshidori | Dark wood, lacquered patterned tips: gold fan, pink sakura, white blossom, red plum | Mandarin ducks lacquered in black and orange |
| Sakura | Handles lacquered in red and black, scattered white cherry blossom | Wood, curved rectangular shape |
| Kaede | Faceted wood, midnight blue and red handles with small white flowers | Leaves carved in wood |
| Tai | Dark wood, scattered small gold flowers | Fish carved in wood |
| Take | Orange-toned wood, engraved “rice grain” pattern | Carved bamboo segments |
● The chopstick rest, the small object that changes a table
The chopstick rest — hashioki in Japanese — is there to hold your chopsticks between bites, off the tablecloth and without letting them roll. It is the accessory nobody thinks to buy separately, and the one that takes a table from correct to considered.
In these sets the four rests match the chopsticks: lacquered ducks, fish, leaves or bamboo segments depending on the design. They sit to the right of the plate, with the chopstick tips pointing left, as in Japan.
● A set that is ready to give
The four pairs arrive lined up in a black case, each held by a gold band, with the rests in their own compartment. The lid lifts off in one movement: no wrapping paper needed, the presentation already does the work.
Four pairs is the format that matches a table of four: a housewarming present, a joint gift, a wedding list, or simply a way to replace the disposable chopsticks from the last takeaway with something you keep.
● Chopsticks at the table, the Japanese way
In Japan everyone has their own chopsticks, and they are never put straight down on the table: between bites they go on the chopstick rest, tips pointing left, or across the bowl if there is none.
Two gestures are best avoided: standing chopsticks upright in rice and passing food from chopsticks to chopsticks — both echo funeral rites. To serve yourself from a shared dish, turn your chopsticks around and use the other end.
● Build your Japanese table
A chopstick gift set sits naturally alongside our Japanese bowls and the rest of our Japanese tableware range. If you are after a gift with everyone’s name on it instead, have a look at our personalised Japanese chopsticks, engraved in katakana. And for more, all our Japanese gift ideas.
● Caring for your lacquered chopsticks
- Hand wash in warm soapy water, then dry immediately with a soft cloth.
- No dishwasher, no microwave: heat and detergents attack the lacquer and the wood.
- No abrasive sponge or scouring product, which would scratch the shine of the handles.
- Do not let them soak in the sink and never put them away damp.
- Store them flat, away from direct sun and sources of heat.

● FAQ: Japanese chopstick gift set
What exactly is in the set?
Each set contains 4 pairs of Japanese wooden chopsticks and 4 matching chopstick rests, presented in a black box with a lid. The rests are included — you do not need to buy them separately.
What is a chopstick rest for?
The chopstick rest, or hashioki, lets you put your chopsticks down between bites without soiling the tablecloth and without them rolling off. That is the custom in Japan: they go on the rest, tips pointing left.
How many people does it cover?
The set covers a table of four, with one pair and one rest per person. To seat more, you can order two sets in different designs and mix them at the table.
Are the sets different from one another?
Yes. Each set has its own chopstick design and its own rests: lacquered mandarin ducks, fish, leaves or bamboo segments carved in wood, depending on the one you choose.
Can they go in the dishwasher?
No. The handles are lacquered, and the dishwasher — like the microwave — damages both lacquer and wood. Hand washing in warm soapy water followed by an immediate dry is all they need.
Will the lacquered handles wear out with use?
Not if you wash them by hand and dry them straight away. What attacks the lacquer is the dishwasher, abrasive sponges and long soaking. Avoid those and the shine of the handles lasts for years.
Is the set ready to give?
Yes. The chopsticks arrive lined up in a black case with a lid, each held by a gold band, with the rests in their compartment. No extra wrapping is needed.
Where do these sets come from?
They take up the designs and the codes of the Japanese table — sakura, plum blossom, mandarin duck — but they are not made in Japan. We would rather say so plainly than leave any doubt.
How do I choose between the designs?
It comes down to the mood of your table. The darker sets with discreet patterns go with everything, while the colourful ones with lacquered ducks or fish make more of a statement, which tells when the box is being opened as a gift.
Can the chopsticks be engraved?
Not these ones: the handles are lacquered and decorated, so an engraving would not hold. If you want a name engraved, have a look at our personalised Japanese chopsticks in bare wood, engraved in katakana and sold in sets of 5 pairs.
Does this set make a good gift?
Yes, it is one of the easiest gifts to give: useful, decorative, no question of size or taste, and it comes in its own case. It works just as well for a housewarming as for a wedding, Christmas or a thank you.
